[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, she is not a size 14. Don't be ridiculous.

Thinking this is not an issue because she is "beautiful" is also stupid. This is a health issue, not a popularity contest.

My guess is that you have no idea what is really going on in her life or how she is losing the weight. Plug in NOW. [/quote]

yes she is a 14/16. all of her clothes that either she purchases are either a 14 (or 16). depending on brand, but there is a pretty even mix of both sizes. and no they are not stretched out and forced to fit like one pp said. she (and I!) makes sure all her clothes fit properly and she does not go for the "muffin top" look. [b]we even joke about her friend who is a size 4s laying down to squeeze into a size 0 when she is perfect at a 4 and you good (and generally better) wearing your size. [/b] i have been in a store with her, and if something doesnt fit she will get a larger size or just not get it. I did not say this is not an issue because she is beautiful, I was simply saying that as a person physically and socially (i guess is the term) she is beautiful. She has lost weight by eating healthily, and working out as said in the OP. no she is not starving herself or even taking pills.

To the pp wondering how she gained the weight, she was always a heavier "pudgy" kid. and then during middle school she put on more weight, but when puberty really hit, it kinda evened out and in a way distributed evenly so no one part of her body is "huge" but she is just  "thicker" (not a great deal of belly/back fat) just an all over extra body weight.

And to the PP who asked what I look like, I am 5'10 266. so yes i am quite heavy too.

So, you joke about another child's weight and appearance when you and your daughter are obese. Yet you're offended when nurses write the words "obese soft belly" to describe your child's "obese soft belly." Wow.

no we dont "joke" in a malicious way. you guys jump to conclusions. her very thin friend was over at our house, laying on the floor to put on pants and her friend was the one who was joking about how she was struggling to put on jeans. she was like "my god... im so fat!"  my DD said "E___ you arent fat! im fat but I think those pants were made for a skeleton!" and they were both laughing about [b]how silly it was that how even teeny tiny people start to think theyre fat[/b]. no one was being made fun of, but they both poked fun at themselves. (my DD saying how she is fat. and that her friend saying that she is desperatley "sucking in" to get into tiny pants!)[/quote]

It might be silly to you but to her friend - and many other teen girls - they don't see it that way. They really do believe they are fat.  That's how they end up with eating disorders.

So no, what your doing is  no better than if someone said "but I think those pants were made for an elephant!" if your DD was trying to put on a pair of pants.[/quote]

the friend is the one who said it was silly.  wtf is wrong with you? do you need to come on DCUM and search for people to attack?

and to the PP who said that she got to a higher weight with a nutritionist.. she only gained about 8 lbs since she was 13. [/quote]
